Meet the PaperFold...The world's first foldable smartphone

FLIP PHONE: The new PaperFold device can be transformed into different shapes [PAPERFOLD]

If your smartphone screen is too tiny then take a look at this new device called the PaperFold.

Like an interactive Rubik’s Cube this shape-shifting smartphone can be transformed from single screen to widescreen in an instant.

The displays can be folded, detached and flipped to create different shapes and it can even be turned into a mini laptop.

These early designs use a simple e-ink display, but in the future it’s likely that full colour HD screens could be included.

The PaperFold is the brainchild of a team of Canadian designers and although it’s currently just a prototype it could change smartphone design forever.

Dr. Vertegaal, a Queen's University professor, in Ontario Canada said "In PaperFold, each display tile can act independently or as part of a single system.

"It allows multiple device form factors, providing support for mobile tasks that require large screen real estate or keyboards on demand, while retaining an ultra-compact, ultra-thin and lightweight form factor."

With the rise of the 'phablet' it seems people are wanting larger devices to view ever increasing digital content on.

And the PaperFold could finally solve the issue of a large format phone that’s small enough to squeeze inside your jeans.
